Make your own sushi poke bowls- perfect for a hot Autumn night. Miso-glazed salmon with loads of veg for everyone to pick their preferences - tomato, cucumber, corn, broad beans, spring onions, carrot and avocado. Topped with dried shallots, pickled ginger, black sesame seeds and a kewpie dressing.
Caramelised red onion tart with plump summer baby tomatoes, goats cheese and thyme. Served with a simple garden salad. I slow cooked 4 large red onions as they shrink so much once cooked. This is a whopping 8 serves of veg (1/2 onion = one veg serve) and together with this salad, I think everyone in the fam got a good dose of veges for dinner tonight 👊
This is called a ‘let’s see what I can find in my fridge and pantry’ lunch. Leftover quinoa, pan-fried haloumi, rocket leaves, baby Roma tomatoes, sliced avocado and a tin of @edgellau snack chickpeas. Finished off with a drizzle of wasabi kewpie and extra virgin olive oil. Sometimes it’s just a simple exercise of combining a few different ingredients to create a wholesome meal that includes most of the food groups.
Celebrating the end of the summer season last night with this easy peasy summer slice from @inpraiseofveg made with luscious summer tomatoes and zucchini at their best. The only problem was I had planned on leftovers for lunch but my teenage son managed to gobble up three big slices to feed his never-ending growth spurt. Lesson learned- next time double the recipe!
My husband and I have come to the Mornington Peninsula for the weekend as my kids are interstate for a sports carnival. One of my favourite things about going away is preparing simple, but delicious meals as I have time compared to the hecticness of regular life. Today’s breakfast was homemade granola with summer berries, passionfruit and @barambahorganics bush honey yoghurt.
Another fabulous @aussieonions farm tour organised by @bitecommunications and @straight_to_the_source , this time visiting the wonderful family team at @qualipac farm in Queensland. We were welcomed with delicious onion tarts by @sproutartisanbakery and got to see onions in the ground (which were unfortunately severely damaged by a hail storm less than a week ago 😢). Our group of chefs and dietitians were then treated to a 5-course onion-inspired private lunch at @shortgrainbymb featuring red and white Australian onions in all the dishes, including dessert, which was a yellow bean pudding with caramelised onions. It’s days like today that I think how lucky I am to be a dietitian and bring the humble onion hero to life and share its amazing nutrition benefits and flavour profile with like minded foodies!
